The covers of classic works by Irish authors—including Waiting for Godot and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man—adorn the walls of this clean-cut pub named after the Irishman-turned-Washingtonian who designed the White House. True to its roots, the drink menu includes a wide selection of draft, domestic, and imported beer plus an entire page devoted to whiskeys. With a large space and a relatively calm happy hour, James Hoban is an welcoming spot for after-work drinks with coworkers.
